The Jewish Museum of Greece

The Jewish Museum of Greece, Museum of Jewish heritage in Historic Centre of Athens, Greece.

The Jewish Museum of Greece is a museum in central Athens that holds over 10,000 artifacts spanning 2,300 years of Jewish history. The collection includes documents, textiles, ceremonial objects, and personal mementos from different regions across the country.

The Jewish Museum of Greece was founded in 1977 by Nicholas Stavroulakis as a permanent display for personal valuables of Greek Jewish Holocaust victims, first housed in shared premises on Amalias Avenue. It gained legal non-profit status in 1989 and in 1998 moved into a renovated 19th-century house on Nikis Street, keeping the facade and adding four internal storeys. Visitor numbers doubled by 2000.

The exhibition displays traditional clothing, religious objects, and photographic archives that show how Jewish communities lived and practiced their faith across Greece. You can see the crafts and customs that shaped daily life in these communities throughout different eras.

The museum occupies a renovated 19th-century neoclassical house at 39 Nikis Street, near Syntagma Square, on 800 square metres across four floors. Exhibitions, a video room, an education room, a library, a photo archive, a conservation laboratory and a shop share the building. Visitors should check current opening days and hours with the museum before planning a visit.

The museum occupies a 19th-century neoclassical house on Nikis Street, bought with help from the Ministry of Culture, the Friends of the Museum and the Central Board of Jewish Communities. Renovation kept the facade but rebuilt the interior as a four-storey museum of 800 sq m, and visitor numbers doubled by 2000.
